Part-11

Saira and Abhinav resting their heads in each other embrace. He was caressing her hair and thinking something deeply. She was blabbering something but after not getting a reply she lifted her head and looked at him who was lost somewhere, she separated from him and made him lie on her lap.

Abhinav: Do you need anything?

Saira: No but I think my husband is worried about something. I am seeing since we returned home you're looking worried so tell me fast.

Abhinav tried to lift his head but she did not let him do so.

Saira: Are you telling me or not?

Abhinav: Actually Saira I am thinking about Payal (Saira removed her hand and sat straight, he also sat back in a straight position) Did we right by bringing her here? I think she needs space so she can move on.

Saira: Did something happen or she told you something?

Both turned towards each other, he held her hand tightly like he was afraid for her upcoming reaction.

Abhinav: Actually Saira when we were stuck in lift she told me that she still loves me. That time I totally went blank. (He lifts his head and looks at her, who was blank) Saira says something, your silence is killing me.

Saira: I don't know Abhinav how to react to it, it's just I don't know how to take it. I can understand we can't control others feelings for us but you're my husband now and at some place I am feeling insecure.

He took her in his embrace and pecked her forehead.

Abhinav: We'll see how to tackle it and you don't need to feel insecure.

Saira: Hmm I know I don't need to but still I don't able to control my feelings.

Abhinav: It's okay leave those things, you tell me do you need any help in becoming ready as I think my wife can't do anything alone.

Saira: Mr Agnihotri thing is that Mrs Agnihotri knows everything but just she loves to take her husband's help.

Both burst in laughter as this was the same dialogue Abhinav said.

Saira: Jokes apart Abhinav, I thought something for her but don't know she'll like it. (She told something to him, initially he became shocked but later he smiled proudly)

Abhinav: I think we can try and don't worry whatever will be the result . I'll take blame on me..

Saira(interrupted him): We'll, not only you.

He nodded in yes.

........

At 6:00 pm

Both were becoming ready in different rooms as they were getting late, someone was also there who was trying best to look.

Abhinav's side

He became ready in brown Sherwani and white pyjamas. He was about to tie a watch at his wrist but someone came and took it from him.

Voice: Let me do it.

Abhinav: Dad you

Ram; Yes, in marriage I don't able to make you ready as at some point I was not happy that you're just marrying for a business deal but today I am so happy after seeing the glow on your face.

Abhinav: But dad when you both were not happy why didn't you oppose my decision.

His eyes were moist thinking what mistake he was going to do, unknowingly he was going to hurt his parents.

Ram: I thought you'll be happy so I and your mother are not opposed and Payal was not bad so thought to let things go on their own.

Abhinav: Dad now you're happy I mean I married Saira and Payal.

Ram: Yeah, your happiness is most important for us and also our daughter is good. So no complaints moreover you both were destined to be together. (Saying it he smiled and tied his wrist and patted his cheeks.) And I am seeing that feeling in your eyes for her which I have for your mother.

Saying it he left from there but Abhinav became confused regarding which feeling he's talking about but later he shrugged off his thought and took something from the cupboard.

Saira's room

She was becoming ready in white pink wedding dress, Arya and some girls were helping her. Saira's eyes were closed as they told her and today she was silent as well.

Abhinav knocked on the door and came inside. Seeing him all the girls went but Arya stayed back. He raised his eyebrows but Arya chuckled and nodded in no.

Saira: Arya who came?

Arya is about to open his mouth but Abhinav joins hands. Arya signalled him something he again raised eyebrows.

Arya( Whisper) : Think once again give me your car's key or door.

Abhinav: Arya please baby.

Arya: No, just car key or.

Abhinav: Okay my mother take it but please now go I want to give something to your Bhabhi.

She chuckled and ran from there, he closed the door and moved slowly towards Saira.

Saira: Arya what happened, who was there?

He didn't reply, just kept staring at her staring. He was amazed seeing her, she was almost ready. She stood, her curly hair falling till her waist and in her ear she was simply wearing a long earring, neck was decorated with a simple necklace and mangalsutra. He was trying to take a snap of that beautiful image in his eyes. His trances broken by Saira's voice who was now seem to tensed as she was not getting any reply, she about to open eyes but he safely kept his hand there. Sensing a different touch she shivered and whispered "Abhinav".

Abhinav: Yeah only me, I sent everyone out. So I can give two things to you.

He removed his hands and told her not to open it till he'll not tell her to do so, she nodded in yes. She felt like he's removing her bangles.

Saira tried to say something but he spoke in the middle.

Abhinav: Bangles are good but I want something else in your hand.( Saying it he slides the kada( diamond bangle and placed sweet kisses at her hand) now with open eyes.

She opened her eyes and became amazed seeing a diamond bangle in her hand, her eyes became watery and shined with it.

Abhinav; Grandma ma gave me to her daughter in law when I was going to marry Payal but that time I lost it somewhere. Only today I got it, now I understand why it lost because like you're made for me the same way this is made for you. (Saira suspiciously saw him) Actually I do not feel like giving her so I act like not remembering it but today when I saw it I thought to give it to her.

She smiled with teary eyes and tears about to fall but he caught it.

Abhinav: Don't become emotional, the second surprise is also there but for it you have to wait.

Saira: it's so beautiful.

Abhinav: yeah Grandma ma told me Dadu gifted her it on 25th marriage anniversary. You know she even does not give to mom as she wants to give to my wife.

Saira: Your Dadu choice is so good, that's why you also got amazing sense. Well what is my second gift.

Abhinav: Wife don't be desperate for it.

Saira: Please Abhinav( He nodded in no) okay one hint.

Abhinav: Not even a single hint just wait for reception.
